How to Make Bay Leaf And Lemon Marinated Swordfish Kabobs

  1. In a large zip-top heavy-duty plastic bag, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 2 bay leaves, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. Add 1 pound swordfish, cut into 1-inch cubes, to the bag.
  3. Seal the bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, turning the bag occasionally.
  4. Remove swordfish from the bag, reserving 1/4 cup of the marinade. Discard the bay leaves.
  5. Thread 5 swordfish cubes, 1 bay leaf, 1 lemon slice (about 1/8 of a lemon), 1 cherry tomato, and 1 1-inch square of bell pepper alternately onto each of 4 skewers.
  6. Preheat your broiler.
  7. Place kabobs on a broiler rack coated with cooking spray. Place the rack on a broiler pan.
  8. Broil 5-1/2 inches from the heat for 3 minutes.
  9. Turn kabobs over, and broil for another 3 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade.
  10. Serve immediately. Yields 4 servings.
